Thanks, everyone - hadn't thought about the pooping - something else to watch out for!

I know that quite a few cats pee in their carriers on the way to the vet. Has this happened to you, and if so, has the urine ever leaked out of the carrier and into the car - even with padding on the bottom of the carrier? I am thinking of adopting a new cat, but am concerned about this...

Thanks, GoldenKitty - will keep your suggestion in mind. Time is drawing close, and still haven't decided whether to use the side door or the top door. I'm comfortable with upending the carrier and dropping Annie in, but I hate the look on her face when I do this. On the surface it seems...

When transporting Annie to the vet I normally pick her up under her two front legs and drop her, hind first, into the carrier, which is upended with the opening facing skyward. I now have a carrier that opens from the top as well and would like to try this method when I take Annie to the vet in...

I'm glad everything turned out okay. My cat fell off my second floor balcony about 18 months ago and I have tried to think of some way of securing the balcony. Can you explain further your netting plan - am having trouble visualizing what you have in mind. Thanks.

This is the way they do things in mainland China - the Chinese in Hong Kong never use food products from China because of this.

Temptations HB treats are put out by Whiskas. Here is their UK website. Look for the Snack & Treats link. I can't see the Hairball Control treats on it - perhaps you can contact Whiskas. You might also try eBay. (Three years ago when I first got my cat, she became constipated. Took her to the...

I give my cat 3 Temptations Hairball Control treats every night to avoid constipation. Important not to use more than 2 or 3, as it makes the stool too soft. If I go a couple of days without giving them, then Annie's stool becomes pellet-like and I don't like that!

Same goes for my Annie. Took me a couple of years to wean her off a totally dry food. Now she has Innova dry and FF wet, occasionally Solid Gold tuna, but nothing else.

Mskitty666, did you strap them into the stroller, using collar or harness? Were you afraid initially that they might become frightened and attempt to bolt?

Thanks for your input - will be glad when it is over! I hope, Kittymonsters, that I never have to administer shots - my hands always tremble like crazy when I just clip Annie's claws!!

You might want to try the Supplements section of this site. The site itself is chock-a-block full of useful information, centering on simple raw diets, plus supplements, etc. www.pet-grub.com

The following website has got me thinking! Every time I open a can of wet food now, I will be feelling guilty. Your opinions? www.pet-grub.com

I live in Canada, so I phoned Nestle Purina in Canada and asked them speicifically if they used the same supplier of the suspect wheat gluten. They said they did not. They said they recalled the Alpo wet dog good but I'm afraid I can't remember the reason why as this wasn't of interest to me...

The thing is, the new carrier is a "small" size, so I was thinking if I try to put her in via the top door, her legs would be on the floor of the carrier and she could possibly spring out in one fell swoop. If I use the side door (standing the carrier on its end) then there is a bit of a drop...

I recently bought one on eBay; however, at the moment I intend to use it as a means of transportation for the pet carrier - for vet visits (I don't drive anymore). I really like the style of the stroller. It is navy blue and looks like a baby's stroller. The pet carrier fits in it nicely. I...

My Annie is having her teeth cleaned next week and one of them (or more) will be extracted. It is an overnighter. Apparently I will have to administer meds (liquid? pills?), but wouldn't it be painful to pry open her mouth when it is sore? I'm a bit apprehensive re things not working out...

I have just bought a 2-door pet carrier (side and top opening). I have no problem putting my cat into a carrier from the side, but have not yet tried putting her in from the top. Which way is better?

To avoid hard stools and constipation, I give my cat precisely 3 Temptations Hairball Control treats (along with 4 ordinary Temptations treats) at bedtime every night. Works great! Every now and then I cut back to just 2.

Wonderful news, what a relief! My very best to you, DH and Cammie. Here's to a speedy recovery...
